Our Living World (Part 4)

This topic is on genetics. We start by looking at how members of a species vary and how biological keys can be used to identify organisms. We will then learn about DNA and how this determines our genotype and phenotype. We spend a couple of lessons looking at genetic disorders then do a fun CSI type experiment looking at different blood types! We finish this topic by looking at selective breeding, cloning and stem cells.
